Arrest records for two of the 37 immigrants detained that September night, included in a motion filed Tuesday that\u2019s tied to an ongoing federal consent decree, provide the clearest picture yet of what led to the controversial and aggressive operation, in which agents descended from a Blackhawk helicopter, broke down doors and zip-tied U.S. citizens and immigrants.

Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – April 13, 2026<\/a><\/h2>\n…
\nAs a major networking event and ideological trendsetter for the radical right in the United States, CPAC has been instrumental in celebrating Orb\u00e1n\u2019s Hungary as the center of the effort to destroy the liberal democracy of the United States and Europe in order to replace it with what Orb\u00e1n called \u201cilliberal democracy,\u201d or \u201cChristian democracy.\u201d …<\/p>\n
Today P\u00e9ter Magyar, the man who will replace Orban after winning the election in a blowout, revealed that Orb\u00e1n was using government money to finance CPAC. Orb\u00e1n has clearly been working for the benefit of Russia\u2019s president Vladimir Putin, and just days before the election, news broke that last October, Orb\u00e1n told Putin, \u201cIn any matter where I can be of assistance, I am at your service.\u201d<\/p>\n
So it appears that CPAC was funded by a foreign government that was working closely with Vladimir Putin.

<\/a><\/p>\nJennifer Rubin: NATO and the pope reveal Trump\u2019s isolation and weakness.<\/a><\/h2>\n…
\nOrb\u00e1n\u2019s defeat capped a week of failure for Vance and Trump, a sign of Trump\u2019s own diminishing power that may end in a midterm defeat as humiliating as Orb\u00e1n\u2019s. Trump, despite his bluster, looks smaller and more isolated than ever.<\/p>\n
As a full-fledged narcissist, Trump expects complete subservience \u2014 no matter how badly he treats others. He, therefore, must have been shocked when NATO countries did not rush to aid his disastrous war of choice against Iran. More recently, the White House was likely flabbergasted when its effort to strong-arm Pope Leo (!) triggered another Vatican tongue-lashing, which was leaked. Never in the post-World War II era have so many world leaders shown open contempt for a U.S. president.
